    Permanently Broody Hen --PLEASE HELP

    thanks for replying, I'm glad to hear Hawkeye did snap out of it eventually, that gives me hope! Bonny is 2 1/2 & she's never been properly broody before. I was given her at 6mths by a breeder because she had a cataract & couldn't be sold but was too sweet & cuddly not to save. Her eye became...

    Permanently Broody Hen --PLEASE HELP

    Hi, I know this is a very old thread but if you're still around doodledoo, I'd be interested to know what happened to broody Hawkeye? Did she eventually give up? I have a 2 y/o brahma, Bonny, who has been firmly broody since early July, every time I think she's loosing interest she starts up...

    blood in droppings, is this always cocci?

    Gosh I'd forgotten about that! Yes the chicks were fine, they didn't get ill, there was no more blood and they grew up into lovely healthy chooks! So I don't know what caused the blood, perhaps that chick ate a sharp stone & it scratched him on the way out or something.

    blood in droppings, is this always cocci?

    No blood this morning & chicks still healthy and active, so a mystery?

    blood in droppings, is this always cocci?

    It was proper fresh red blood, not loads, just a few drops, but not that pinky gel like gut lining that the other chickens sometimes produce in poops overnight.

    blood in droppings, is this always cocci?

    My three 9 week olds free range all day in my garden with my other chickens & sleep in a separate coop at night. This morning when I cleaned their coop I found a poop with red blood in it. This also happened a couple of weeks ago, just the one time, I kept a close eye on them & decided as they...

    Silkie thread!

    I have a new silkie hen, I'm wondering what colour you would call her, she reminds me of a tabby cat very pretty, it could be she's a cross between colours, what do you think? Partidge?

    Help saw a bug!

    DE is good to put in their dustbaths too. Not sure if you have the same things in US but when my hens had a lice problem I used a drop of Frontline for cats (my vet said it was ok) on them, it worked a treat. I only have a few chickens though, and they are rather spoilt.

    can you help sex my bearded silkie? (15weeks)

    I think it's pretty certain that Mrs Fluffnut is really Mr Fluffnut then. At least he's had a chance for his bleeding tail to mend, his feathers to nearly grow back & his confidence to return some. Soon he can go back to my friend & find some mrs Fluffnuts of his own & I'll try again with...

    Mrs Fluffnut was extremely bouncy & jumpy this morning, almost like a guineapig doing that popcorn thing! I suppose it could be roo behaviour, I'd love her to be a girl but my head is telling me otherwise - those "streamers" are getting more obvious I think.
